I use Squirrelmail in combination with postfix and dovecot and I access

I frequently get emails, stating you have a secure message waiting at https://customerserver  this file will be available for 24 hours, etc.  I know we deal with one site that uses gmail for corporate and they have the same thing.  Wondering if anyone had any recommendations for such products and would maybe integrate with postfix/dovecot or would this be integrating with the mail client?
